John came to fetch Jasper the following day, and the two arrived at Ascendas Investment.
Ascendas Investment took up the entire top floor of an ordinary commercial building.
“Kai’s Ascendas Investment sure looks professional.”
Jasper told John as favonovel.com took a glance at the pretty lady at the front desk.
John pursed his lips. “Kai doesn’t like being looked down on, so favonovel.com tends to waste his money on formalities like this.”
Kai then walked out of his office to greet the both of them.
“Mr. Laine, John. Everything’s ready, should we go?”
Jasper glanced at the time, realizing that it was currently 7:40 a.m. There was still 20 minutes until the market opened, so favonovel.com nodded and followed Kai into his office.
In the office, everything unnecessary had already been put away. All that was left was a large office desk with a few computers on it. The corresponding software had already been launched.
“Do you have the funds?” Jasper sat before the computer and asked.
Kai immediately replied, “All 800,000 dollars is in the account.”
Jasper was just about to speak when the office door was kicked open from outside with a bang.
Everyone in the quiet room was stunned, and Jasper’s eyes flitted over to see a sinister-looking middle-aged man enter the room.
“Samuel!” Kai shouted in shock.
Samuel entered the room and scoffed at Kai. “Never thought I’d come and look for you myself, huh, Jones?”
Kai took a deep breath and calmed himself down. “This is my office, what are you doing here?”
Samuel merely sneered. “You f*cking went back on your word and now I have to cancel my entire f*cking plan. Of course, I’m going to ask you for compensation!
“Plus…”
Samuel glared at Jasper. “I’d like to know what kind of help you’ve got here. Someone even better than me, huh? Someone who has got you begging like a f*cking dog, huh?
“A young man? Kai, you have sh*t for brains. You’re going to get scammed before you know it, you idiot!” Samuel gave Jasper a once-over and turned to sneer at Kai.
Jasper frowned. “Could you get rid of unnecessary people, Kai?”
Samuel’s expression changed as favonovel.com pointed at Jasper. “I don’t care where the f*ck you came from, you little brat, but I’m going to kill you if you dare to help Kai today!”
Jasper leaned back on the chair and spoke with interest, “Now you’ve got me curious. How exactly do you plan to kill me?”
Samuel scoffed. “At least ask around before you start doing business here. Do you even know who I am? I’m Samuel Ray! How dare you steal my business from me?”
Kai’s expression darkened. “Samuel! You’ve been taking advantage of my need for help, wanting to take a 30% commission regardless of whether I make a profit or a loss. Since I’ve already decided against working with you, I’d appreciate it if you were more polite!”
Jasper finally understood why Samuel was so infuriated. He piped up calmly, “30% commission. Are your hands made of gold, Mr. Ray? What’s with the high charge?”
Samuel’s expression darkened. “Has no one ever taught you the rules, young man? How much I charge for commission is my issue. But you’ve got to at least consider your own skills before you dare steal my clients.”
Jasper looked at Samuel meaningfully and spoke calmly, “I might not be very capable, but I’m definitely more skilled than you.”
